The Week that was June 30 - July 6

Yay! Finally finished downloading new Coldplay. Been listening to more post-rock once again.

Caspian - The Four Trees


I have achieved nirvana with this album. Super relaxing and orgasmic to your ears. I can recommend this to anyone who wants to hear good music without any vocals. Great first track (Moksha) which has more textures than Alvin's hair.

Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss EP



Yndi Halda (Pronounced Yin-dee Hal-dar) means enjoy eternal bliss in Old Norse language. From what I can listen, I can see that there is a direct influence from classical music with thunderous violin overlapping the droning guitar melodies. Each of the EP's 4 tracks last at least 10 minutes. However, I find some of the songs kinda draggy which makes you want to skip to the next track. But the band is smart enough to give the listener a good crescendo after them. For those who loves beautiful violin works, give it a try. Others, steer away from it if you are REALLY impatient.

Coldplay - Viva La Vida


I can safely say they're taking a new route with this album. No more "BIRDS GO FLAHYING AT THE SPEED OF SOUND!!" they began to sound more relaxed. Their sound is as minimal as their first album, Parachutes which has one of my favourite songs (Don't Panic). Nothing much to say with this album, just think X&Y but less texture and more calming. Sorry no download since this is a mainstream album. (well, just search it at bittorrent or something)

To be continue tomorrow with 2 other albums I got last week.
